Why it happens

Thermal movement

Aluminium moves with temperature; seals and fixings take the strain.

Finish damage

Scratches and chips expose bare metal; coastal air speeds up corrosion.

Covering Bolton and nearby

Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.

Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.

Bolton is around 11 miles from Manchester, and both are within our Greater Manchester coverage.

We also cover nearby Farnworth (3 miles), Westhoughton (4 miles), Radcliffe (5 miles).

How much should it cost?

Guide price, per lantern£195–£695 ex VAT£234–£834 inc VAT

Most aluminium roof lantern repairs jobs come in between £195 and £695 ex VAT (£234–£834 including VAT), per lantern. Towers or scaffold, where needed, are priced into the quote. Your fixed price is confirmed in writing before any work starts.

Do you need permission in England?

Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the local council for alterations, and conservation areas can have extra controls; like-for-like repairs are treated differently from changes, so check with the council's conservation officer first.
